Train Motif-ation

Brands elevate the train experience through the art of hyper-curation

Trend - Brands are creating unforgettable experiences by curating thematic engagements in trains. Whether it's to get to a specific destination or simply to secure a few hours away from responsibilities in the city, these activations range from festive holiday-specific celebrations to elevated alcohol tastings.

Insight - Consumers are looking for a short refuge from the stresses of daily life and often find this in products and services that are accessible in terms of affordability and availability. As people are interested in immediate escapism that will last a few hours or even a day, it is important for these experiences to be immersive, in order to satisfy the consumer's craving for rest or excitement.
Workshop Question - How might your brand combine affordability with meeting an immediate consumer need?
Trend Themes
1. Thematic Train Experiences - Brands are curating thematic engagements in trains to provide consumers with immersive and unforgettable experiences.
2. Brewery Train Tours - Train tours that include stops at local craft breweries are a popular and unique way for beer lovers to enjoy the best of both worlds.
3. Murder Mystery Train Tours - Train tours with a murder mystery theme allow wine lovers to add some role play to their experience.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - Travel agencies and tourism companies can create thematic train travel packages for consumers looking for immersive experiences.
2. Food and Beverage - Restaurants and breweries can partner with train tour companies to offer unique dining and tasting experiences during train rides.
3. Entertainment and Events - Entertainment companies can create custom experiences, such as murder mystery tours, that provide consumers with immersive and interactive experiences.
